This exhibition will feature several artworks by each of the seven winners of the 2010 Wisconsin Arts Board Visual Arts Fellowships. New this year is the inclusion of the 2010 Media Fellowship recipient. The result of a highly competitive program, these fellowships honor outstanding Wisconsin artists from all parts of the state who work in a wide variety of media.

This exhibition is supported in part by a grant from the Wisconsin Arts Board with funds from the State of Wisconsin and the National Endowment for the Arts. Ongoing support comes from DoubleTree Hotel-Madison and Robert & Carroll Heideman. The Wisconsin Academy thanks these sponsors for their generous support.
